Today is March 1st, the first Monthly Voting Time since the redesign launch!

The link for monthly voting is on your account page although we do plan to make it more prominent. Check and see if you're invited! The top 10,000 active users from February have access to vote. Read LilJim's post for more info about the new page!

Pico Day is April 28th! Notice: We will still award winners this year but will be taking a break from cash prizes. NG will attempt to sponsor a few submissions though so you can link me to your project preview in advance of Pico Day. The project system allows you to set up your submission, co-authors and API in advance of the event!

Pico Day has traditionally been a celebration of classic NG characters such as these:

This year we were thinking it would be fun to open the invite to include tributes and spoofs of ALL characters that have appeared on NG over the years. Just remember we have Madness Day in September so you should save your epic Madness stuff for that. What does everyone think of that idea? If you want to run with it, it would be best to get the blessing of the author you wish to pay homage to, especially if it's not a straight-up parody work. Let me know your thoughts.

Oh, cool. I always thought all the users were able to monthly vote. I was actually looking to ask one of the staff members. So I feel a little bit more important when you put it like that.

I actually thought that everyone was able to vote to.

I FEEL IMPORTANT :D

Open to All characters throughout NG's history? Great idea! It's about time that some all-time greats got their chance to shine. (Examples: Keegan's Truck, Stick Slayer, The Lloyds, and possibly Assassin.)

Uff awesome design on the new voting page!! I have been waiting for this since the redesign, it's inmensly better than the last. I like the fact that I actually know which movies I chose and which rank number I gave them hahaha That was the most tedious part on the previous designs.

Everytime when i will vote ''- '' in a review don't show when it is useless, it is a redesign bug?

We decided to go with positive reinforcement on reviews - we show it when people like them but don't show it when people don't, although our system still knows they don't.

I can respect that, but as someone who leaves the odd effort-ridden review it'd be great to know when my reviews aren't deemed helpful by the community (I like to know when I need to improve my shit). Does it still show up as useless when said reviews are yours?

It's great to finally be able to vote on the best of the month again, there were some really good ones, and I've made my picks. I literally just got into the top 10,000 yesterday, so I was able to partake in the voting. I can't wait to see the results!

Trying to vote, but it's not working. The tiles will drag into the left column, but they won't lock into the box, and they're unable to be moved once dropped. Refreshed several times, and then went to portal> account> then to voting again and it still does the same thing. How long do I have to vote? What's the deadline? Pic of the problem is below.

But it's sometimes good for us to know when other people find a review useless. If someone rips on an author and makes a 'wrong' (but not abusive) review, it's nice to see that some (or many) people have listed it as 'unhelpful.' Even if the review was correct in what was said, sometimes it's important for people to know that (many) people do not agree with their point of view. If all we can say is 'good job' then how can someone who's really off (but not abusive) be told they might want to rethink their point of view before submitting another review? Sometimes it's good to know when we step on someone's toes, so we can learn to not do it again. The old way was good for that.
